Suitable Technologies CEO Scott Hassan travels in the exhibitor hall in less than 12 parsecs err... at 2 mph

3. Beam brings cosplay from far, far away

Some people will do anything to go to San Diego Comic-Con, but one person in particular didn't even have to leave his Palo Alto office in order to roam around the show floor.

Suitable Technologies CEO Scott Hassan had the most inventive cosplay outfits yet thanks to a steampunk version of his company's Beam remote presence robot.

Hassan, an early Google architect, traveled the exhibitor hall without making the seven-hour drive and donned Google Glass.

Best of all, his high-end video conferencing robot blended into the new Star Wars characters. This is the droid we're looking for.

You know nothing, Jon Snow. But you can Google anything while swordfighting

4. Google Glass on classic characters

More Google Glass wearers could be found around the San Diego convention center on the faces of characters that would ask me for a demo.

Game of Thrones' Jon Snow supposedly "knows nothing," but the HBO character sure knew how to work Google's wearable computer.

Even though it should be old news to Back to the Future's Marty McFly, he seemed kind of excited by it. He was less excited by the already depleted battery life, however.

We even paired up with X-Men's Cyclops to pretend to send some optical blasts into the crowd. The idea behind this was to eliminate sweaty nerds. It didn't work.

It was surprising to see the excitement that the friendly Comic-Con cosplayers had for Google Glass. It was a much warmer reaction than I experienced at CES, which had a "been there, seen it, judged it" attitude.
